Psychological Testing Clinic
In 2020, the National Institute of Mental Health reported that 21.0% (52.9 million) of U.S. adults age 18 or older encountered challenges with mental illness. Young adults were found to have the highest prevalence rate of 30.6%. Increasing access to high quality behavioral health services for those with mental health challenges remains one of the most challenging problems the United States healthcare system faces.
The Psychological Testing Clinic at FHSU is a resource established to help fill this need in the local community for additional psychological services. Local and State service agencies collaborated during the development of clinic and its mission. The clinic seeks to provide service to Fort Hays State University as well as local and global communities within the realm of psychology.
The Psychological Testing Clinic is also a teaching and training clinic for master’s level psychology students at Fort Hays State University. The students engage in the administration of the psychological tests, summaries, and interpretations are completed by a psychology graduate student under the direct guidance and supervision of a licensed professional in the field. This opportunity allows for hands on learning and growth into the professional work the students may be completing in their future careers.
Referral Source
The testing clinic is open to the community for self-referrals or referrals from local practicing professionals or mental health agencies who want psychological testing completed. All referrals will be assessed on a case-by-case basis to determine adequate eligibility for clinic services. The clinic is seeking to expand its partnerships with local community providers and agencies in order to become a well-regarded resource for psychological assessments to be completed. Anyone interested in collaborating with the Psychological Testing Clinic may contact the Clinic Coordinator for any additional information.
